davidehrlichJul 3, 2025As confrontational and hallucinatory as mainstream Golden Age Hollywood ever got. A resounding expression of repression, desire, and rage right underneath the surface. The most perfect collision of acting styles at exactly the right time in movie history. Just a powerhouse.
Sean FennesseyAug 20, 2024It’s so evident that Clift and Elizabeth were soulmates from the beginning. In this film, you can see how their natural chemistry shines through each scene together and, later, when Clift’s career went through a difficult time, Elizabeth Taylor’s unwavering support was…

Metacritic
They're a witheringly beautiful couple; ex-cinematographer Stevens lavishes all his gifts of composition, lighting and texture on their closeups. [05 Apr 2007, p.C10]
Michael Wilmington
Chicago Tribune
George Stevens, a tireless moralizer and part-time embalmer of American myths (Shane), directed this melodramatic adaptation of Dreiser's An American Tragedy, and what does not seem facile in it seems overwrought.
Dave Kehr
Chicago Reader
Hopelessly inadequate as a reading of Dreiser's great novel, and as usual Stevens seems too preoccupied with the story's monumentality to have much curiosity about its characters.
